Chapter 2, Section 6. Paragraph 1
Commentary: Our view of fear is that it is a block or an interference to Jesus getting through to us. It is like the defense shield in Star Wars. Fear prevents me from getting the help I need. While my body appears to have a conditioned response of fear, the origin of all of these responses is in my mind.
There are two levels at which I can seek to diminish my fear. One is managing my bodily responses and the other is working with/in my mind. The first is like first-aid until my wisdom Self can take over and do the other level of work.
As soon as the fear has been managed, Jesus will be quick to rush forward because I will again have access to his help (defense shields will be down).
This is a deeper understanding of the role fear plays in blocking the very help we are seeking. The ultimate bottom line is that no matter what happens to this body in this dream or illusion, at the level of my True Self, all is well.
Roxanne was in a serious car accident many years ago and moments before the contact with the other vehicle she called out for help and heard “soften and breathe”. She survived the head-on collusion. This was a real time, move from fear to trust moment. It taught her, in a deep way, that when one moves from a state of fear and asks for help, help is right there.
